First of all, this woman, fellow teacher, will never see herself as in the wrong in any way. She is, as I said before, ALWAYS right. It is also hard to confront someone who is on the same team. I do know that many fellow team members just tolerate her, but fall short of disagreeing with her. The two administrators, who have had to put up with her bringing students to the office for numerous minor infractions, HAVE made a point of commenting about this in a general manner in past Faculty Senate meetings. Though these comments were pointed at her nit-picking, I doubt she recognized it.

Ahhh...my decrease in Paxil....may be the thing that prompts a confrontation! I really have noticed a difference, to the positive, in my teaching performance in the past week due to this decrease. Whereas, I used to sluff off my students' raucous or disruptive behavior getting all the students stirred up, I now just quietly direct them to move to a seat near me to resume the assignment. This really does the trick! Still, I'm not inclined to confront a 7th grader about her boobs!
